Restricted Forum Content not on Newsfeed | Forum

Hello there,


I just recognized, that Topics and Posts from a restricted Forum can't be found on the Newsfeed, both, the one on the front and on the dashboard. I tryed it with multiple accounts and all them had the role assigned, which is also the one from the restricted forum. 


As soon as I remove the restriction, the content (new posts or new topic) is visibel on the feed.


I tryed it with different roles and users, but the result was always the same.


Is it meant by design, that restricted forums aren't visible on the newsfeed or is there something wrong?


Tanks for your help!

Unfortunately, in the meantime this is how it works. The users of that role can see private section and private topics only on the forum page itself. To show them in the newsfeed, at least in the dashboard, will create additional and at the same time excessive load on the newsfeed, we had to avoid that and made it work like it is now.

Hey Ross. Thanks for your detailed answer. I do understand your (the devs) thoughts about it and we can live with it, now that we know! I just wasn't sure if it is an error/bug or if it was meant by design. :)


Thanks again!
